Rarely available in the gated coastal community of Poinsettia Cove, this four-bedroom home offers the beach-close lifestyle Carlsbad is famous for. South Ponto Beach and Carlsbad State Beach are just steps away. A community gate provides a direct pedestrian path to the Coaster station as well. The craftsman-style exterior, covered front porch, and mature palms signal the relaxed coastal character that carries throughout. ***** Inside, rich hardwood floors run the length of the main level, anchoring bright, open living and dining areas. The family room features a stone-surround gas fireplace and a newer Milgard sliding glass door leading to the backyard, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow. The kitchen offers a gas cooktop, bar seating, a chef's hood, and a step-in pantry. Upstairs, the primary suite is generously proportioned with crown molding, a ceiling fan, walk-in closet with built-in organizers, and an en-suite bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, and separate shower. Three additional spacious bedrooms offer flex space for guests, a home office, or hobbies. ***** The backyard is built for the beach lifestyle, with a resurfaced patio, built-in BBQ, gas fire pit, outdoor shower, and mature tropical landscaping, with a private gate to the greenbelt behind. No homes back to this property, just a beautifully landscaped common area with walking paths, pickleball and bocce ball courts, a tot lot, and a grass lawn. ***** The attached two-car garage includes a built-in storage system with racks and hooks, ready for bikes, boards, and all the gear that comes with living at the beach. Additional updates include a Lennox Platinum HVAC system, updated LED lighting, and a gas log fireplace insert. ***** Convenient freeway access, top-rated Carlsbad schools, The Camp Store, shopping, and dining are all nearby. A rare opportunity to own a four-bedroom home in one of Carlsbad's most sought-after coastal communities.
